Buggytop Cave is said to be the largest cave opening in the state - 80 feet high and 100 feet wide. The cave is formed by the running water and rock breakdown through this finger of the plateau. Inhabitants include several bats, salamanders, crickets and other small creatures. There are several passageways and caverns within the cave. No gear other than headlamps were necessary to walk through the cave. Some of the exploration is done on hands and knees while the majority of it is done walking upright.
